> "Incremental CMS (iCMS) was written for a specific use case - 1 or 2 hardware
> threads where concurrent activity by CMS would look like a STW (if
> only 1 hardware thread) or a high tax on the cpu cycles (2 hardware
> threads).   It has a higher overhead and also is less efficient in terms
> of identifying garbage.  The latter is because iCMS spreads out the
> concurrent work so that objects that it has identified as live earlier
> may actually be dead when the dead objects are swept up.  It's
> worth testing with regular CMS instead of iCMS."
> From recent hotspot mailing list message.
> Rare is the case where we run on systems of 1 or 2 hardware threads (other than fellows laptops and there the above likely doesn't matter).
